SiteFix – Backend Accessibility Fixes | WCAG, ADA & EAA Compliance
SiteFix is different. While other accessibility plugins slap a widget overlay on your site (which is NOT WCAG-compliant), SiteFix actually fixes accessibility issues in the backend — the way it should be done.
Why Overlay Widgets Are Not WCAG Compliant
Accessibility overlays like AccessiBe, UserWay, and similar tools add a floating widget that tries to “fix” accessibility on the client side. The problem? WCAG 2.1 requires that content be natively accessible — not patched with JavaScript overlays. Courts have consistently ruled that overlays don’t satisfy ADA requirements.
SiteFix takes the correct approach: server-side fixes that modify your actual HTML output.
8 Free Automatic Fixes
- 🖼️ Smart Alt Text — Context-aware alt text from filenames, attachment titles, and captions. Not just filename dumps.
- 📑 Heading Hierarchy — Fixes skipped heading levels (H1→H3 becomes H1→H2→H3). Multi-pass with loop protection.
- 🔗 Link Accessibility — ARIA labels for empty links, rel=”noopener noreferrer” for external links, generic link text detection.
- 📝 Form Labels — Auto-injects aria-label on inputs, selects, and textareas without associated labels.
- 📊 Table Headers — Adds scope=”col” to th elements and role=”table” for screen readers.
- 🏷️ ARIA Landmarks — Adds roles (navigation, main, contentinfo, banner, complementary) to theme elements.
- 🌐 Language Attribute — Ensures the html tag has a proper lang attribute set.
- 🎯 Focus & Skip Links — Visible :focus-visible outlines and skip-to-content link for keyboard navigation.
Compliance Badge (Free)
Display a real-time compliance badge on your frontend showing:
- Accessibility score (0-100) based on actual scan results
- Which protections are active (green ✓) or inactive (red ✗)
- Compliance status for WCAG 2.1 AA, ADA (US), EAA (EU), AODA (Canada), EN 301 549

This is NOT a fake seal. The badge reflects your real scan results and active fixes.
